BURMA RAILWAY ARTIST - War Drawings of Jack Chalker

Jack Chalker was a gunner in the Royal Artillery when he was captured during the fall of Singapore in 1942.  He spent the next three and a half years as a Japanese prisoner of war and in the Thailand-Burma railway camps.  During this time, in furtive secrecy, he made diary notes, sketches and paintings recording his life and conditions around him, using whatever materials he could scrounge.  He also worked beside the renowned Australian surgeon 'Weary' Dunlop, a fellow prisoner, documenting the ravages of disease, wounds and starvation as well as the ingenious medical equipment fabricated in the camps.
